Welcome to our first episode of our first ever miniseries!! This miniseries is all about friendship and we’re kicking it off with an episode about what happens when you’re more than friends with someone.

We start the episode with a segment where we ask if you’ve ever caught feelings for a friend and if you’ve ever had sex with a friend, plus if you would sleep with one of your current friends.

We then get into the main episode where we ask whether it’s ever okay to sleep with a friend, and break down everything that could go very wrong or very right if you choose to go down that path. We ask whether sex with a friend has to mean something and how your opinion on this might impact how your friendship could change after having sex.

We also ask how to identify if you have feelings for a friend and how to distinguish between platonic and romantic or sexual feelings for a friend. It can be quite hard to tell sometimes, and lots of us have had a crush on a friend, so it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it’s also important to ask ourselves when you should voice these feelings and when they should be kept very quiet (like when they’re ahem in a relationship).

We then get onto deeper topics like if it’s ethical to be friends with someone if you have an ulterior motive of trying to sleep with them, or if you have feelings and hope they’ll be convinced to have feelings for you in the process of being friends. We also discuss the dynamics between male and female friends and the expectation of sex in those friendships, plus the whole made up concept of the friend zone.

We hope you enjoy the first episode of this miniseries! We’ll see you next week to talk about conflict with friends, before the last episode where we talk to female friendship expert Shasta Nelson about how to make and maintain friends.
